It is without merit. There are more than a handful of modern internet companies running on Perl. Amazon runs a LOT of Perl for CDO. Who has scaled more than Amazon? This is a very ignorant take that selectively chooses to look at the fact that you can write Perl poorly, because the language does not stop you from doing so, and ignores the fact that you can also write it in a maintainable fashion. People stopped working on Perl for a variety of reasons. The commitment to backwards compatibility to a fault. The reputation leading to lower adoption. And so on. None of these are structural problems with the language itself, they are more community/bad luck issues.
